Diabetes in SEA

75 million people have diabetes. If we do not act now, this figure will rise to 123 million by 2035

1 in 12 adults have diabetes 

Half of them have not been diagnosed and are at higher risk of developing harmful and costly complications

Diabetes will cause 1,185,000 deaths in 2014 - the highest mortality rate across regions

54% of those deaths were in people under the age of 60 

However, the region has the lowest diabetes-related expenditure per person with diabetes, totalling only USD 7 billion
